RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas – Ouachita Baptist University senior Carter McElhany has been named the Great American Conference Special Teams Player of the Week after a record-breaking performance this past Saturday.

McElhany had two kickoff returns for 106 yards in Ouachita's 62-10 win over Arkansas-Monticello at home, highlighted by an 87-yard return for a touchdown.

It was the Greenbrier native's fourth career kickoff return for a touchdown, setting a new GAC record that he previously shared. He has one kickoff return for a touchdown in each of his four collegiate seasons.

McElhany and the Tigers are 5-2 following Saturday's win over the Weevils. Ouachita is receiving votes in this week's AFCA Top 25 poll and is ranked No. 10 in the NCAA NPI rankings for Super Region 4.

Ouachita is back in action this Saturday, October 24 on the road against Southern Arkansas. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. in Magnolia.
